Carter is a trooper!
We were in Birmingham all day Thursday for several doctor’s appointments. They went well!
His hearing levels have slightly decreased so they adjusted his hearing aids and he hasn’t said “huh” as often since then 😂 His ultrasound remained stable with things still being elevated and enlarged but no major changes in the last six months! His body has also been swollen a lot in the last few months so his feeding team backed off on feeds just to see if that helps with not being overloaded with fluid. With no major changes or surprises, we’ll count that day as a win 🙌🏼
We then went to see his pediatrician Friday morning because he has a double ear infection again. A quick visit and some more antibiotics, Carter was off to school on Friday!
We had to take Carter to the ER Sunday morning because of a foot injury but the X-rays all came back normal! We were in and out in two hours and saw some friends we hadn’t seen in awhile. I specifically had prayed before we headed up there that certain people were working just because they know Carter so well and they were both there! Even in the hard and what was last minute for us, God had already planned the day. We are thankful that God is continuing to show up in what might be small ways, but very meaningful and seen ways!
Today is infusion day! We have really seen that these monthly infusions help Carter and his immune system. It’s crazy to think how much different the last few years would’ve been if insurance would have approved this medicine four years ago 🙃
As always, Carter has been Carter and has been in good spirits throughout all of this! We continue to pray that throughout Carter’s journey, the trials can point to God’s glory ❣️
